THE BOOK OF EXODUS

 

Exodus Chapter 38

1 ¶ Then he made the altar for burnt offering of acacia wood: it was square; five cubits long, and five cubits wide; and it was three cubits high.

2 And he made the horns on its four corners; the horns were of one piece with it: and he overlaid it with brass.

3 And he made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the basins, and the fleshhooks, and the firepans: making them all of brass.

4 And he made a grate for the altar a brass network below under its ledge extending halfway down.

5 And he cast four rings for the four ends of the brass grate, to be places for the poles.

6 And he made the staves of acacia wood, and covered them with brass.

7 And he put the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar, to carry it with; he made the altar hollow with boards.

8 And he made the basin of brass, and its stand of brass, out of the mirrors of the women who assembled for service, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

9 ¶ And he made the court: on the south side the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, an hundred cubits:

10 They were held up by twenty pillars, on their twenty brass sockets; the hooks of the pillars and their binders were of silver.

11 And on the north side the hangings were also an hundred cubits, on their twenty pillars, and their twenty sockets of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their binders were of silver.

12 And on the west side the hangings were fifty cubits, on their ten pillars, and their ten sockets; the hooks of the pillars and their binders were of silver.

13 And on the east side, toward the rising sun, fifty cubits.

14 The hangings on one side of the gate were fifteen cubits; on their three pillars, and their three sockets.

15 And so for the other side of the gate, on both sides of the gate to the court, there were hangings of fifteen cubits; on their three pillars, and their three sockets.

16 All the hangings around the court were of fine twined linen.

17 And the sockets for the pillars were of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their binders of silver; and the overlaying of their tops of silver; and all the pillars of the court were joined with silver.

18 And the hanging for the gate of the court was needlework, embroidered in blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: twenty cubits long, and five cubits high in its breadth, corresponding to the hangings of the court.

19 The four posts, and four sockets for them were of brass; their hooks and binders of silver, and their tops covered with silver.

20 And all the pegs for the tabernacle, and around the court, were of brass.

21 ¶ This is the sum of the things for the tabernacle of the testimony, as they were counted, by Moses’ order, for the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest.

22 And Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD ordered Moses to make.

23 And with him was Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, a skilled workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and fine linen.

24 The total amount of all the gold offered and used in all the building of the holy place, was twenty-nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary.

25 And the silver from those of the congregation who were numbered was one hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and seventy-five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:

26 A bekah for every man, that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one who was counted, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty men.

27 The one hundred talents of silver were for casting the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the veil; one hundred sockets for the hundred talents, a talent for a socket.

28 And of the thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, covered their tops, and made binders for them.

29 And the brass of the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred shekels.

30 With it Bezalel made the sockets for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the brass altar, and the brass grate for it, and all the vessels of the altar,

31 And the sockets round about the court, and the sockets for the court gate, and all the pegs of the tabernacle, and all the pegs round about the court.
